Venture for America is a fellowship program for recent college graduates to launch their careers as entrepreneurs. Our Fellows spend two years in the trenches of a startup in an emerging city, where they learn how to build a business while making an impact. VFA trains Fellows to become productive startup employees, then provides the mentorship, network, and resources they need to become successful entrepreneurs.

Our goal is to fuel job growth in cities that need it while empowering our best and brightest to help startups grow and create value in their communities. We aim to produce effecive high-character leaders who view community impact and value creation as fundamental to personal success throughout their careers.
